Default newb from utah

I'm a suzuki guy but for some reason i like rovers even though there out of my budget to maintain.

I am not a rover purist my stuff is ugly and probably not what you guys want to see but oh well.

almost 2 years ago i was living in moab and wanted something i could wheel and drive to work..

so i bought this for about what the axles were worth.
96 disco dana 44's chromo shafts , ctm ujoints, 35 inch bfg krawlers, 14 inch fox coilovers up front, 5.89 R&P , detroit lockers front and rear

well i moved out of moab and it was going to cost alot to make that rig more of a street rig and that seemed stupid,

so i sold the axles , my gf bought the rig from me and put some locked and geared 1 tons under it.

its not done /fire damage set us back
